This is insanely expensive just to get replacement blades. Can I put on a head that has replaceable blades?

It is "insanely expensive" but you can buy this part for about $55 on other web sites. Even Norelco's Web Page has it for about $75 so somebody is gouging here.

Not that I know of. I think this is the only replacement for the blades from Norelco for these razors. For what it's worth, the reason this is more (in addition to all the markup by Norelco) is that you're actually replacing the entire swiveling head of the razor, so there are a lot of parts in this complex assembly. But if you want the smoothest electric shave you can get at home I think this is the price.

A heads up to everyone who hasn't bought this yet: Amazon now has it available for preorder, available Sept. 1, 2014 as direct from them with Prime shipping. And at a discount from the $ 64.99 MSRP: As of today, $ 49.65. I recommend locking in the price now. If it goes up, you've saved. They have a policy if there's a price drop up to when it is released, you get it at that price. Sweet! Heres the listing : Philips Norelco RQ12/62 Replacement Head for Series 8000 and ArcitecThe picture looks different cosmetically. The actual cutting heads look similar to the original functionality, and should work for all shavers. I preordered this for my 1290X.

I gagged when I saw how much they wanted for this replacement head. I paid $129 for my Sensotouch 3D with TWO heads from Costco and not they want more than the cost of my original razor? I bought a RQ10 and it fit on my razor. Cheaper construction than the RQ12 but shaves much better than a one year old head.

I do not think there is any other option. Of course, you might contact Philips Norelco and ask them.

Yes blade replacements are needed occasionally (more often if you are cutting thicker material). Blades are anywhere from 8-15 dollars depending on where you purchase, and if on sale or not. Simple replacement, diy.

I've looked and looked and have not been able to find shaver heads for this razor. It's a shame because doesn't wear out but the shaver head does. I just buy a new one when the shaver head wears out. Fortunately this razor is high quality at a low price.

Hi. I don't think so, as the rotating head is quite wide and there are no spares in different shape that you can use. I hope I was helpfull.

I don't see a question here, only a heading. I presume you're asking about where to buy a replacement foil. I have had my shaver for only a couple of years now, so haven't had to replace the head yet. Other reviewers have said it's difficult to find. Just don't know.

I can buy replacement blades from CVS or Rite-Aid drug stores but the replacement blades are cheapest on Amazon.

You would have to find one with the correct thread count to screw it on. But the head is removable, because it also comes with a face plate for turning bowls and other hollow forms. Also, replacement parts can be ordered through Harbor Freight Tools, as they sell the same model.

Not if you just buy the replacement head. All the individual parts are available on the web if you need additional parts.

Sorry, I have looked and looked and cannot find someone who offers a replacement blade. I saw one for $900 but that is 4 times the cost of the machine. Someone said you may sharpen the blade yourself. Lay it on a flat surface and use a very fine sand paper wrapped around a solid block of wood. Be very careful with the sanding strokes and you will be able to achieve a sharp cutting edge. I haven't tried that myself but I intend to.

I haven't tried it but I wouldn't think you can. I buy my blade cartridges(HeadBlade ATX brand) at Rite Aid .

I don't think it would be economical to replace the blade as the squeegie is cheaper or as cheap as new blades. and no I don't think it can be replaced anyway. Unless you clean windows more than once every 2 months (how many people do that? lol) it's worth its cost.

Good question...I don't know. I know they tell you to use the brush and the oil to keep the blades going, but replacement blades would be nice.

I, too, have had a lot of trouble finding them. Last time I found them, it was in Walmart. The problem is that the replacement blades are as expensive as the whole new razor. I now just buy the whole new razor and throw the old one away, or keep it for parts.

I have not had to replace anything but I Googled replacement blades for the Ultra Chef and came up with blades for $5.95. Here is the link. http://www.cyberbrands.com/pub/ultrachef.html Hope this helps...

I have no idea where replacement blades can be purchased. Have you tried having them sharpened. I tried these clippers several times on different dog hair types and have no boxed it up to return to Amazon. Looks like I am going to have to try a different brand.

There were no replacement blades included, but for the reasonable price I paid, I would never have expected to receive any. If it ever breaks, I will buy a whole new one because I'm sure replacing those wouldn't be worth the effort.

never looked at it to replace the head. for the price I'd just buy a new one
